A Wisconsin Order To Show Cause is a legal document issued by a court that requires a person to appear in court and explain why a certain action should not be taken against them. It is typically issued when someone has failed to do something they were supposed to do, or when there is a dispute between two parties. There are two types of Wisconsin Order To Show Cause: Preliminary Injunction and Final Order. A Preliminary Injunction is issued by a court when a party has failed to comply with a court order and the court believes that the party needs to be restrained from engaging in certain activities until the matter is resolved. A Final Order is issued by a court when a party has failed to comply with a court order and the court has decided that the party must comply or face being held in contempt of court. Both types of Wisconsin Order To Show Cause require the recipient to appear in court and explain why they failed to comply with the order.
